hi lukas, hi mex,

- there is definetely something strange -- this is a vanilla install -- for testing -- i installed apache on the same machine and ran it on port 444 for an ssl host. it works as expected. that would seem to indicate the ssl libraries, etc, are in good shape.

- i am going to generate some different certs -- mine are insane -- 4096 key, 4096 dh, sha512 sig -- perhaps the problem lies there. although, why would apache work and not nginx?
